Till your uboot Pops like a can of coca cola :rotfl:

Some mods or SH3 tools will make it random
I,ve taken my VIIC down to 240m after heavy floodings
this was scary because the specs on this boat was a crush depth of 160m.
when I got back to base I was very happy to be alive still.
(/back in the old days of TGW1.1a mod)

now I,m running GWX and not yet I,ve been beaten up badly as I,m only in 1940, but I,m getting there

Important factor of your maximume depth is Hull intergity, if its low , watch out I,ve been down to 30% and my uboot Popped at 60 meters

It depends on the condition of your hull, so you'll never know 'til you try it.

Take your boat slowly down. When it starts popping things, good idea to stop the dive.

I think it was TimeTraveller who did the "Crush Depth Randomizer" mod. I can't get to my computer at all, or I'd put it up for you, but if anybody can do that it's worth it to get. It has all the real test depths, and once you put in a boat it will randomize the crush depth so you have a good idea what it should be but you're never quite sure.
